Side by side
As of Nov 4, 2026. Source: ETFIQ.
These are two different products. XJUN is a floor fund, which caps how far a holder can fall. PBJL is a buffer fund, which absorbs the first part of a fall and leaves everything below it with the holder.
Where each one stands today
XJUN resets first, on Jun 17, 2027, 225 days from now; PBJL runs to Jun 30, 2027, 238 days. PBJL can still gain 9.2% before its cap, XJUN 7.1%. A fall from here reaches PBJL’s buffer after 2.9% and XJUN’s after 3.6%. Both track SPY, so what separates them is where each is in its own period.

How this is computed
ETFIQ calculates every number from each issuer’s published outcome-period terms. Buffer ETFs hold options on an index, not shares, so there is no holdings overlap to report.
Every number is an ETFIQ calculation with distributions reinvested.
